How can a non-resident invest in Brazil?
There’s a resolution of Brazil’s national monetary commission (CMN), most specifically the resolution 2689/2000, that enables the non-resident investors the same access to the Brazilian financial and capital markets granted to resident investors.

How do I get a Brazilian visa?
All U.S. Citizens require a visa to travel to Brazil, whether for business or tourism. MOST foreign nationals require a visa. Typically, a visa takes anywhere from 2 days to 15 days to process in the Brazilian Embassy/Consulate depending on the consulate that we need to send the application to. However; during the busy season (during the fall-winter) visas may take longer to process because of the great demand for Brazilian visas.
Brazilian visas are issued according to the purpose of the trip. It can be either a tourist or a business visa. In general, tourist visas are issued specifically for the purpose of travel for pleasure, while a business visa generally permits a traveler to engage in normal business-related activities (sales meetings, visiting a factory, etc).
Typically, a visa takes anywhere from 2 days to 15 days to process in the Brazilian Embassy/Consulate depending on the consulate that we need to send the application to.

* The tourist visa for Americans, Canadians and Mexicans is valid for multiple entries for five years from the date it was first used (unless otherwise noted in ink in the visa). The only restriction is that you cannot stay in Brazil for more than 90 days each time you go.
